Montgomery County High School, ADL Start School Year Tackling HateWalt Whitman High School in Bethesda, Maryland is taking a leading role to eliminate hate from its campus and cluster of feeder schools. Last year, the school faced controversy after a social media post of students in blackface, using the N-Word, went viral. In response, the school will roll out a new program, OneWhitman, and work with ADL to implement No Place For Hate(R).
Principal Dodd wrote in a statement, “this program furthers our vision of eliminating racism and all other forms of hate speech so that everyone at Whitman is valued and respected. Every student at Walt Whitman must feel that our school is built for them to belong and succeed. As such, we believe this structure will be a foundation for a more inclusive culture.”

President Trump Accuses Jewish Democratic Voters of ‘Great Disloyalty’
The charge of disloyalty has been used to harass, marginalize and persecute the Jewish people for centuries. Sometimes referred to as the “dual loyalty” charge, it alleges that Jews should be suspected of being disloyal neighbors or citizens because their true allegiance is to their coreligionists around the world or to a secret and immoral Jewish agenda. ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt

ADL had

previously encouraged the governor to veto this legislation. And with his action we express our appreciation to Gov. Cooper for taking this important step to prevent sheriffs from becoming entangled in ICE enforcement, which would only stoke fear and mistrust locally, while harming immigrant communities. We further call on the North Carolina General Assembly to allow the veto to stand.
